This is a list of notable sandwiches. A sandwich is a food item consisting of two or more slices of bread with one or more fillings between. Sandwiches are a common type of lunch food often eaten as part of a packed lunch.
A packed lunch (also called sack lunch or bag lunch in North America) is a lunch prepared at home and carried to be eaten somewhere else, such as school, a workplace, or at an outing. The food is usually wrapped in plastic, aluminum foil, or paper and can be carried ("packed") in a lunchbox, paper bag (a "sack"), or plastic bag. While packed lunches are usually taken from home by the people who are going to eat them, in Mumbai, India, tiffin boxes are most often picked up from the home and brought to workplaces later in the day by so-called dabbawallas.
Many types of sandwiches exist, with a diverse variety of ingredients used. The sandwich is the namesake of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, a British statesman.
